Hello everyone,
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:
We will try to schedule another appointment with the bathroom planner soon, but we don’t want to come completely unprepared,
so any tips are very welcome!
Thanks in advance and have a nice evening,

I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:
- 14.4m² (155 ft²), upper floor (full story), window sill height = 1m (3.3 ft)
- The designs are roughly oriented to the north; to the east of the bathroom, behind the drywall, the bedroom is mirrored. It probably makes sense to avoid placing the toilet on this wall.
- Design option 1 corresponds to the original plan, but the L-shape is not desirable (too cramped, too little light).
- Design option 2 was proposed by the bathroom planner, and a corresponding 3D rendering is included. I actually like it, but my partner dislikes the small partition wall as well as the view from the toilet towards the window.
- The other designs are my (failed) attempts to fit all sanitary fixtures in the room 🙁
- Required are: bathtub, shower (120x100cm (47x39 inches), mostly glass, with a door), toilet, bidet, sink (120cm (47 inches) wide)
- Dark, secluded corners are not desirable, so the T-shaped design is ruled out as well
- If necessary, we would also consider a freestanding bathtub, or possibly a corner bathtub, if that fits better.
- Adjusting the windows by a few centimeters or modifying the sill height on the west side would probably also be possible
- I imagine a bathtub in front of the windows might not be very practical, but I wouldn’t completely exclude it
- The windows face the street or the neighbor’s property, so the view is not a major consideration 😉
We will try to schedule another appointment with the bathroom planner soon, but we don’t want to come completely unprepared,
so any tips are very welcome!
Thanks in advance and have a nice evening,

If it were mine, I would rather soundproof and strengthen the wall to the bedroom and then place the toilet and bidet on that wall. Wow, thanks for the design!
We have actually already planned soundproofing for the wall to the bedroom, including the in-wall installation, so hopefully there won’t be much noise anymore?
The shower directly by the window is probably a bit too adventurous for me (privacy, moisture), but I really like the bathtub and especially the large washbasin. The toilet and bidet are, as in other layouts, a bit close together; we would have to test how that feels. Here’s a very rough 3D draft:

You could also swap the washbasin and the shower. That way, the shower wouldn’t be in front of the window. I would always place the washbasin closest to the door anyway, since it’s the area you use most. Yes, placing the washbasin on the north side makes sense; would the layout then look something like this? The “problem” of limited space between the toilet/bidet remains:

Agree, looks fine visually, but it’s too tight when it comes to the toilet/bidet!
30cm (12 inches) + bidet 40cm (16 inches) + gap 30cm (12 inches) + toilet 40cm (16 inches) = 140cm (55 inches).
An additional 10 or 20cm (4 or 8 inches) would be the clearance from the toilet to the end of the half-height wall. I can't judge how that would look without a photo montage.
That would make the wall unnecessarily long. You have plenty of space to move to the right of the toilet (when sitting). How wide is the passage to the shower?
I would put the toilet by the window since you spend more time sitting there, and sitting by the window feels more private. In the design, the toilet wall is 140cm (55 inches) long (shower tray 120cm [47 inches] + 20cm [8 inches] wall build-up). From the corner of this wall to the corner south of the room door, it’s about 120cm (47 inches). If the wall is extended to 160cm (63 inches), there would still be about 94cm (37 inches) clearance for the passage.

Consider whether you really appreciate the advantages of the bidet (we had one for a long time and found it useful for quickly washing feet or soaking/rinsing swimwear; otherwise, I can’t think of many benefits). A shower toilet is much more comfortable to sit on and offers various more convenient washing options; we tried one in the bathroom showroom’s customer restroom and were convinced afterwards. Regarding price: we never missed the dryer function, the basic model is fine. Thank you for the explanation. I will definitely take a closer look at and try out shower toilets at the bathroom showroom again!

I would prefer the original design number 4. You still have a second window, so you don’t have to reach over the window above the bathtub so often. I wouldn’t like number 2 because I don’t want to sit on the toilet with my back to the door. I also like the design from post 4. I don’t think it’s too tight. You can simply try it out. If needed, you could extend the wall by 10cm (4 inches). Thanks, I’ll give that a try! You could extend the shower base together with the wall (at least the door would get less wet), or possibly install a bench to use the space (cleaning effort?).

Here is a very rough 3D sketch:You’re quick with the 3D view. I like that. However, the non-full-height walls were all intended to be a bit lower. The ones by the bathtub end at the top edge of the tub – so about 50 to 60cm (20 to 24 inches). The shower wall without glass lines up with the vanity partition wall. It serves only as a splash guard. Otherwise, in my opinion, the room feels too "chopped up."
